If Master Chief was g*y would you opinion of the game change? why? (serious)

I've always thought of master chief as the dude with no identity other than being human, and shooting hordes of aliens until they are all dead at his feet. Beyond the loss of character mysteriousness, whatevs.

what exactly are you even arguing? I'm not gay and I would love to see a gay protagonist in a video game.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]

Game companies should not start making Gay Protagonists. The Protoganists are Heterosexual because that is what the majority of Gamers identify with.

Snipes_2

They also shouldn't make them badass. The protagonists shouldn't be badass because the majority of gamers are not badass. How can you relate (or feel connected) to such a character?

[QUOTE="LikeHaterade"]

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Where would you get these statistics from? There are not enough Gay Gamers to warrant a franchise where the protagonist is Gay How is this even arguable?

Why not? Give me a reason not to want a gay protagonist in a game, and I will tell you why.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="scorch-62"] Next time, try to get the most recent statistics as possible . . . "A recent government survey found that 4 percent of adults aged 18-45 identified as 'homosexual' or 'bisexual.' " -- Sourcescorch-62

8.8 million of 307,066,550 is 4%? No, It's 2.86%. Still an insanely low number, and how many of them are gamers? Probably A LOT less.

No, It was not the portion you quoted though. Snipes_2

Wow, Way to totally put words in my mouth. Snipes_2

"A Government Survey" is not really a source. Snipes_2

And games like Mass Effect give you the Option to be Gay Same goes for Dragon Age Origins. I don't see a problem with the discriminationz here.

Yes, You posted the Most Relevant part, that's why I read THAT PART...Snipes_2

I consistantly play hetero sexual characters all the time, I also play female characters and characters that are not human.... I don't understand how a heterosexual could have a problem doing the same once in a while with a homosexual character... in fact, i do recall an old playstation one game getting a little extra spotlight for having a lesbian protagonist.

nearly all characters now are completely ambiguous, so it's up to the gamer to decide anyway

The Argument is not over whether or not Minorities get represented. There is not enough Gay Gamers to warrant a game with a solely Gay Protagonist.Snipes_2

If he saved the world, who cares if he's gay Plus, in 2552 being gay isn't really taboo, it's all about interspecies relations. :P
